Summary: Rose Lalonde meets Dave Strider for the first time on a college tour. They're not emotionally well equipped to have a touching, heartfelt reunion, but that's okay. They wouldn't be comfortable with that kind of thing anyway. (1,300 words)

Note: This fic was written for [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo, in response to the prompt: comfortable / content. It is also a 15-minute fic that got wildly out of hand, once I realized it was heading into Alpha Timeline Fluff territory and figured I might as well see if I could knock off two birds with one stone. :-)

Fair warning for standard alpha timeline background levels of angst, plus Rose and Dave being their own special morbid selves. Also, yes, I set this in Ithaca because that obviated the need for research. I have never denied being lazy. *wry*

[ETA: the slightly revised and expanded final version is now up on AO3! Please go read that instead.]

Some Company Would Be Nice )

Okay, that took stupidly long to edit from rough draft to beta draft, and I really need to go to bed now. Good night! (Or good morning, as the case may be. *headdesk*)
